Small Chilled-Water System Design and Application Par

Engineers Newsletter Live DVDs

More than 80 percent of new buildings in the U.S. are less than
25,000 square feet and almost all buildings are less than 200,000
square feet. This broadcast identifies challenges and opportunities
for chilled-water systems in these buildings from 20 to 500
tons.

In addition, many low-rise buildings seeking LEED
certification have traditionally not been strong candidates for
chilled-water systems. If they are 150,000 square feet or less, their
baseline for achieving LEED points under EAc1 will not be a
chilled-water system. However, these applications may find it easier
to beat their baseline and earn more points if they consider a
chilled-water system.
